Object Types

List all attributes of a specific type, indicating which are repeating-valued (1=repeating):

SELECT attr_name, attr_repeating FROM dm_type  WHERE name = 'type'

Identify the supertype of a specific type:

SELECT super_name FROM dm_type WHERE name = 'type'

List all subtypes of a specific type:

SELECT name FROM dm_type WHERE super_name = 'type'

List the names of all types in the repository:

SELECT name FROM dm_type

Show any instances of a specific type in the repository:

SELECT r_object_id, object_name FROM type(ALL)

Show list of custom object types in the repository:

select * from dm_type where substr(name,1,3) not in ('dm_', 'dmc', 'dmi', 'web', 'cts', 'dmr', 'dam', 'irm', 'bam', 'scs', 'bpm', 'drs');

Create an object type with defined custom attributes:

CREATE TYPE "test_type" ("abc" CHAR(30), "def" INT, "ghi" CHAR(30) REPEATING) WITH SUPERTYPE type PUBLISH

Add an attribute to an object type:

ALTER TYPE   "test_type"   
ADD  "name"  string(50) (SET "label_text"='Name'),
"is_active"  boolean  (SET "label_text"='Active'),
"is_premium" boolean (SET "label_text"='Premium'),
"brands" string(50) REPEATING(SET "label_text"='Brands')
PUBLISH

Retreive the list of attributes which are necessary for the particular object type:

SELECT distinct attr_name from dmi_dd_attr_info where type_name='type_name' and is_required <> 0

Retreive the list of attributes which are not inherited from super tpe:

SELECT distinct attr_name FROM dmi_dd_attr_info WHERE attr_name not in (SELECT attr_name FROM dmi_dd_attr_info WHERE type_name='super_type') and type_name = 'type_name'

Retreive the label_text for an object type:

SELECT label_text from dmi_dd_type_info where type_name='type_name'

Delete an object type:

DROP TYPE "test_type"

Drop an attribute for an object type:

ALTER TYPE type_name DROP ,  PUBLISH

Drop an attribute for an object type which is indexed:

1)Make the Fulltext index jobs inactive
a)dm_FulltextMgr
b)dm_cleanftindex
2)Reset the fulltext index by doing the following DQL command:
DQL>

execute reset_ftindex with name=''

3)ALTER TYPE type_name DROP_FTINDEX ON 

4)ALTER TYPE type_name DROP , PUBLISH

5)Update the ftindex by doing the following DQL command:
DQL>

execute update_ftindex with name='', batch_size=10000
